Had to make an emergency run to Wally World to get a decent cooler. Home Depot........Epic Fail! Ended up with a 28 quart Freedom Cooler. I liked the latches better than the Ozark Trail 26 quart.

I'm going to check torque on all the suspension/lugs and hit the trail. I may do a 5 tire rotation so my spare looks equally used. Also, the spares rim without rock rash is bothering me.

Just going to check underneath one more time. Then load it up.

I just found out I need to replace one of the spring tensioners on the garage so I can get it out

Does that count?

We have a couple at work and they are the bomb. I’ve cut 3/4” with that rig, I have a Powermax 30 air for my shop it’ll cut 1/2” all day.

LOL, I have a show spare too!

I’ll probably cut my winch rope down and put thimbles on the cutoff piece, check torque on bead locks

What are you gonna cut off?

Edit: What do you have for recovery in the back?

I know you all are busy, but any chance this is a yearly thing? So I can plan ahead.

I’ll go next year, I’m sure a few others will join. Are you open for this same time of the year?

I hope it becomes a yearly trip. I'd be game for next year.

It’s a full hitch we intergraded with the tube bumper (I know)
We cut the bumper to suck it in and raise it but, well tell me what you think

I would leave them on for departure sliders, if they become an issue we can modify them on the trail.

Make sure your trailer wiring is tucked up high and zip tied
